    More attempted deflection.

    All you folks wanted to discuss since the whistleblower's complaint was impeachment, now all of a sudden you all want to talk about Greenland and national anthems :P

    All though it is nice to see that anti-Trumpers have found a sudden respect for the American national anthem, didn't see that coming.

    The President's behavior was shameful and wrong. His personal interests do not take precedence over those of this great nation. The President has the responsibility to uphold the integrity and the honor of the office, not just for himself, but for all future presidents. Degrading the office by actions or even name-calling weakens it for future presidents and it weakens our country

    - Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski

    Cowards.

    If you take a knee in protest you are a traitor though.

    What, the man who condemned football players for kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest protected under the First Amendment? What else would such a man, the President no less, do during the National Anthem?

    Wave his arms about, make a show of himself and start moving his chair around before it's over.

    "You have to stand proudly for the national anthem. Or you shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country."

    He did stand proudly and then started conducting his had such pride.

    Bit overexuberant perhaps, few too many Apple juices maybe, but to say that this was showing disrespect to the anthem is quite a read.

    Have to say I find it odd that some of the same users that would normally argue that Antifa burning the American flag is appropriate, now have this sudden belief that when the anthem is being played, people should stand perfectly still.

    I highly doubt they'd be expressing these views had this not being their devil incarnate, Donald J Trump.

    Long week, a lot of work done with regards to trying to achieve peace in the middle east, topped off with finally getting news that this latest impeachment attempt will soon be behind him, more than understandable that he would want to let loose a little at what was clearly a semi-private event:

    He was pointing at others etc too

    And you have to hold him to his own standards where he talked about NFL players disrepecting the national anthem and he does this during the super bowl, the irony is too much :pac:

    As with everything imagine if Obama did this, Hannitys head would explode due to the total disrespect to the flag :pac:

    A video from Terrance Williams is nothing to shout about, a guy who yesterday call Rush Limbaugh a great man. Maybe Terrance forgot he is black and Rush is a racist

    It is trumps belief that not standing still and upright for the national anthem is disrespecting it. He criticises people who have not done that. We are calling out his hypocrisy. and dont get me ****ing started on his middle east "peace" plan. what a disaster that is.

    Yeah, then started pointing at people trying to get their attention. Such pride. Then started moving his chair around rather than wait half a minute until the anthem stopped. Such pride. Maybe he should lay off the apple juice (where the f*c kare pulling that from anyway because it's the second thread you've mentioned it on?) if it makes him act like that.

    Regardless, considering his comments many times before in relation to the NFL players protests during the National Anthem, by his own metric Trump was being disrespectful.

    I'm not even sure who antifa are or what their goals are. Don't give a f*ck about them. Burning the American flag could be seen as a protest (though not peaceful like the NFL players), I don't know. But again, by Trump's own metric, he was disrespecting the National Anthem and the troops with what he was doing.

    https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/999599639996313600

    Was Trump "standing proudly" when he began "conducting"? Was Trump "standing proudly" when he was looking around pointing at his buddies trying to get their attention? Was Trump "standing proudly" when he for no reason started moving his chair around?

    Everyone else there (bar the woman taking the video) was standing proudly. No complaints. Trump was acting like a jackass.

    But that's what apple juice does to some people I guess :rolleyes:

    At official engagements, yes, and Trump always does. If that were not the case, we'd have seen footage of it by now.

    He was respectful. He was standing wasn't he. Not kneeling at an official engagement protesting it. It's absurd to compare the two.
    As with everything imagine if Obama did this, Hannitys head would explode due to the total disrespect to the flag :pac:

    If Obama had Trump's record on respecting the anthem, no he wouldn't, but given that Obama even refused to wear the American flag pin during his tenure (at one point at least) then it would be understandable were anyone to feel it was indicative of their deeper feelings about America. In and of itself though, a little over exuberance could hardly be said to be disrespectful to America. What those NFL players did was though, and deliberately so too. That indeed, was their objective. 'America is a racist country' the subtext of their actions.

    Your responses are hilarious

    So if he does the YMCA during it as long as he is standing its fine you should hear yourself

    Oh my god he didnt wear a pin, Trump has used the office as a slush fund, which is worse?

    Rush is still a racist, just because someone is dying doesnt make them a better person

    Official or not is irrelevant. It is their national anthem. they should show it the same respect every time. He wasn't standing still. Apparently that is beyond his dementia damaged brain.

    I think the Democrats just found their next reason to impeach Trump.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Ah the old trumpian playbook.

    There was nothing wrong with what he did
    There was definitely nothing wrong with what he did
    Other people do it as well and you're a hypocrite for pointing.
    He did so it, so what. He is the greatest. #MAGA

    What Trump did was somewhat disrespectful. But I don't really look forward to the Democrats in Congress doing very little for the benefit of the people and instead arguing for the next four months how it rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

    Ah, yes. More moronic baseless opinions.

    But...
    According to the 2018 General Social Survey Trump supporters score higher on verbal ability tests, and better than most science knowledge questions, compared to Hillary Clinton supporters.

    Also…
    On the 22 General Social Surveys using the verbal ability scale since 1974, for every single one, conservative Republicans score significantly higher than the rest of the public combined. As for Republicans overall, they score significantly higher in verbal ability than Democrats in all five decades, including for the 2010s combined.

    Now, here’s something one can take to the bank. Most bigots are also ignorant as well.

    Here's another one from 2018:

    According to Pew, 54 percent of college graduates either identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, compared to 39 percent who identified or leaned Republican.

    Curiouser and curiouser.
